Dharma, I'm saying that whatever reflection you pick out in another person is simply a reflection of a reflection.
I get the impression from Rose that she is living in accordance with her standards, and she's a little sad that her boyfriend reacts with anger to that, but ultimately leaves whatever decision he makes about his satisfaction and fulfillment with him, where it belongs. Sounds pretty straightforward to me. Am I understanding you right, Rose?
And you, Dharma, seem to have decided that Rose is "not congruent with her veganism", is insisting on being right and making bf wrong. You tell her that her righteousness is getting in the way of her relationship. I don't see that here, but you do.
Whatever is so for Rose, you and I are reflecting upon her reflections (which she might not even be reflecting!) My point is that you and I, Dharma, will see what we see in our mirror, but what we are told we see in the mirror is not what we see in the mirror.
